As the countdown to the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games intensifies, Team USA is taking an innovative approach to enhance athletic performance—by prioritizing restorative sleep.
In a strategic move, Saatva, a premier luxury mattress brand, has been named the Official Mattress and Restorative Sleep Provider for Team USA and the upcoming LA28 Games.
Saatva will supply top-tier mattresses, pillows, and linens designed to optimize rest and recovery for America’s elite athletes. This partnership highlights the growing recognition of sleep as a vital component in sports performance and athlete health.
“Joining the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games offers a unique platform to showcase our commitment to exceptional rest,” said Ron Rudzin, Founder and CEO of Saatva.
“We understand that quality sleep is a crucial element for recovery and peak athletic output. We’re honored to support these world-class competitors in their pursuit of excellence.”
Beyond delivering premium sleep products, Saatva will work closely with the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) to promote sleep education and conduct research aimed at improving athlete well-being. This collaboration reflects a broader trend in sports science where recovery strategies, including sleep, are becoming central to training regimens.
John Slusher, CEO of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Properties, emphasized the importance of the partnership. “We’re excited to welcome Saatva to our family on the journey to 2028. Their innovative sleep solutions will provide valuable support to our athletes, both in competition and recovery.”
When will LA2028 Games Begin?
The LA28 Olympic Games are scheduled from July 14 to 30, 2028, with the Paralympic Games following from August 15 to 27, 2028, in Los Angeles . While this marks Los Angeles’ third time hosting the Olympics, it will be the city’s inaugural Paralympic hosting.
Team USA, overseen by the USOPC, comprises America’s most talented athletes preparing to compete across a wide range of sports disciplines. Their training now includes a holistic focus on physical conditioning, technical skill, and crucially, rest and recovery.
With Saatva’s expertise and support, Team USA aims to gain a competitive advantage. This is by ensuring athletes benefit from the highest quality sleep possible. As the Games approach, it’s clear that in the pursuit of gold, restorative sleep could be the ultimate edge.
